Shall i continue.

 

Ok bro. Name one fight where Oscar even clame close to matching what the fight with Floyd made. I heard that his biggest draw made half. Now are you saying if Oscar fought another fighter, it would have garnered the same viewership? Get real.

Judah, Baldomir, Oscar, Hatton all earned their biggest paydays with Floyd. Are you saying Floyd isnt a top drawer? That Hatton wont be the second biggest fight in PPV history? That whoever he fights next being Cotto or whatever wont be just as big?

 

We know that Oscar got his biggest payday with Floyd. And vice versa. But Oscar is the bigger attraction and the bigger star.

 

How about YOU name ONE fight where Floyd came as CLOSE to what he made fighting Hoya.

Dont flip **** kid.

 

Meaning it was a combination of both, no?

Oscar's previous highest was 1.2 million. This sold 2.4 million (or there abouts).

While it's certainly off of Oscar that the history was made, it had plenty to do with WHO he was fighting too.

But Floyd will never sell as much, or earn as much, as Oscar in his career. No way.

 

Good post!

"He said the pay-per-view results generally follow that trend which, if true, means Mayweather-Hatton will do about 1.5 million pay-per-view sales. That would make Mayweather Jr. the first non-heavyweight ever to sell more than 1 million pay-per-views in back-to-back fights, as well as the first man to 4 million in one calendar year.
He could generate more than $200 million in pay-per-view revenue alone in 2007."

Shall I continue?

 

Talk to the kid.

 

What part of HE WASNT the draw dont you get.

He wasnt the draw for the Gatti fight and he wasnt the draw in the Hoya fight.

Lets see how he does without him.

 

Without who? I didnt realize he was fighting De La Hoya again? Never said anything about De La Hoya's drawing power, its plain to see Floyd Mayweather is now the biggest attraction in boxing, bar none. If he fights Cotto or Williams, he will break the bank again.

*head pat*

 

true. They are both great fighters, and DLH is the biggest draw of the last decade. But Mayweather is the only constant in both those fights. Think about it, would Hatton vs De La Hoya be generating this much publicity? I truly believe mayweather has overtaken oscar now.

Brits cherish their sports stars more then Americans do. They always have. Look up Tim Henman, they named a hill after him at wimbledon and he never made it past the semi-finals.

 

Hatton vs Oscar would be bigger in terms of draw. WAY bigger.

 

Mr. Scully, I have to agree with you. I don't care much for his personality (And stuff like this is why) or really like, but as long as he fights, then that is cool. I can careless how stupid he acts outside of the ring, that's his problem.

 

4 years ago maybe, not now.
